K'ntka will end BJP's '40% Commission Sarkara': Congress slams

New Delhi: Karnataka people will "guarantee" the end of BJP's "40 per cent Commission Sarkara" on May 10, Congress slammed BJP in its reply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comment that Congress cannot give true guarantees. Congress will implement all promises it made, the party added, reports PTI.

Earlier, PM Modi attacked Congress saying that the meaning of the Congress' guarantees was when that party's warranty itself has expired. "Congress means a guarantee of corruption, a guarantee of nepotism," Modi said. "Congress has reached a stage where it cannot give true guarantees; you are aware that Congress's warranty has expired, then what is the meaning of its guarantees."

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh replied in a tweet, "After Amit Shah and Yogi, now it's Modi's turn to make outrageous comments due to despair and desperation."

"On May 10, the people of Karnataka will guarantee the end of the BJP 40% Commission Sarkara. A few days later, Congress Guarantees will be implemented like we have in RJ, CH and HP," he said.

He then listed the policies Congress implemented in states it rules, submitting that it had promised ahead of polls.
